Abstract
The role of parked vehicles, as a source of urban run-off pollution has received little attention and is often considered to be an insignificant source. The investigations reported in this discussion indicate, however, that there may be a significant input of mineral-oil-type hydrocarbons (MOTH) into stormwater conduits (combined and separate sewers) from vehicles parked in the respective drainage areas. The paper outlines the role of non-dissolved solids in transporting MOTH into the sewer system. Suspended solid characteristics as well as potential interactions with mineral oil components are analysed. Hydrological boundary values, such as duration of dry weather periods and rainfall events are included in the analysis.
